Installing Rails on Mavericks

Question

Not sure what happened but when I upgraded to Mavericks it says that Rails it not install. I executed the following command:

rails --version

Answer 1

You need to install the Command Line Developer Tools. Just open Terminal and type up a command that requires it -- for instance, git, gcc or make. Or use the following command:

$ xcode-select --install

You'll see an alert like this:

Just click Install and that's it. As of OS X 10.9, there's no longer need to install Xcode for Ruby development.

Answer 2

I had the same problem which I have now been able to solve.

The problem for me was that I had updated to the latest version of Xcode through the appstore but hadn't actually opened the application to complete the install. So here's what solved it for me:

• Updated Xcode
• Opened Xcode application
• Accepted license agreement
• Installed rails

Hope it works for you too.

Answer 3

I think I had the same issues. I updated the xcode and open xcode to accept licence aggrement. Then it worked fine as far as I can remember.

Answer 4

It wasn't working for me even when I reinstalled xcode and the command line tools for mavericks.

But after that, I just did a bundle update and, for some reason, it worked.
